On the weekend closest to June 21st, Swedes celebrate the summer solstice with a traditional Midsommer festival.

The New Sweden Historical Society and Stockholm Historical Society Invite you to help Sven Bondeson decorate the Midsommar Pole. Many hands make light work. Thanks, Sven, for producing the most beautiful Midsommar poles every year. Even visiting Swedes are amazed and so are we!
